The common man of this country wants the rulers to make public names of the persons holding big bank accounts with hefty amounts unearthed in foreign banks recently. It is beside the point whether the money stacked in these accounts was earned by them legally or through unfair means. The very fact that they transferred it through money laundering was a crime of the first magnitude.
The names of these sacred cows need to be exposed at once as they are now grooming up their next generation to step into their shoes by entering the corridors of power after contesting the next polls and suck whatever little blood is left in the body of the have-nots of this country.
It is painful to note that the criminal case against carriers of foreign exchange abroad like Ayan Ali is being taken quite lightly. God knows how many trips abroad had already been undertaken by her before she was caught red-handed at the airport carrying US dollars on her person on her way to Dubai. Whose dollars was she taking to the Emirates?Why is the Prosecution not taking due interest in her trial for obtaining a quick verdict from the trial court?Who are the personalities behind the curtain who are supporting her ?Unless persons like her get their just deserts it would not be possible to get rid of money laundering or Hundi . The trial courts should also put their foot down and ensure that criminal cases, particularly, those in which the economy of the country is damaged directly by the acts of the accused like the one under reference are decided within three months of the submission of their challan in the trial court.
